I took my lil mama in ‍ for her annual teeth cleaning yesterday, second time she's had it done here. They did an amazing job on her teeth !! Amazing!! I know she was in great paws with Dr. Reagan, he's the best, very kind and a great vet and I'm sure a great kind soul for animals, he has a calm demeanor, all the vet techs are fabulous and sweet, front staff is always fantastic. I was so worried all day, but there's nothing to worry about. They do bloodwork and pre screens, X-rays (if necessary and only with your consent beforehand) to make sure your baby is healthy enough for anesthesia. . I'm very pleased with the staff there. If you're debating yes or no getting your cat's teeth cleaned, please do yes, just like humans it is absolutely necessary for their long term health. My baby is back to her diva self doing Mach 5 midnight zoomies and walking around like she owns the joint (she does, my family and I are just acceptable staff). Thank you foothill animal hospital team! Two paws up (side note , I've been going here for 20+ years... my two previous fur babies who got old and passed on, and my current fur baby who's 5). read more

We were in a pinch and needed a vet ASAP as my dog was having her usual symptoms of a UTI and our usual vet wasn't available. We saw Dr. McCarthy and she did a good examination of our dog and let us know our suspicion of a UTI was probably the issue and wrote us our usual vets antibiotic prescription. But I have a few issues: 1. Even though I had told her our dog was vomiting that morning and unable to keep food down, she did not offer any anti-emetic, as she said, "to save us money." After leaving it took 2 phone calls since no one called me back after my first call, to finally get them to understand that we wont know if the antibiotic works since she cannot keep any food down, let alone a pill they want me to give her with food. So I had to take more time off work to go down there again to have them give her an shot to make her stop vomiting. 2. In the name of saving money they had no problem having us pay the $97.50 for the in-house 5-minute urine analysis test that literally gave us no info since our dogs urine was dilute. Please beware before agreeing to this test that that is common result as Dr. McCarthy stated after we got the results of dilute urine when a dog has a UTI. Of course before the test the vet tech and Doctor were both pushing this test and stating how this test would give us so much information about what is in her urine from crystals, type of bacteria, rod or cone shaped, etc. You are not a bad pet owner if you refuse a test or biopsy, the amount of tests and biopsy's I have done on my dogs to get a result of inconclusive truly amazes me. But in the moment you are filled with emotions and want to do all the best for your dog and end up giving hundreds of dollars to the vet for literally no results. Also my suggestion and what I will do next time, is to get a few days worth of the drugs needed and then order the rest on Chewy. The upcharge on antibiotics is very high at the vet! read more

I've taken several of my pets to Dr. McCarthy, and I honestly can't say enough good things about her. She recently performed surgery on my cat, and everything went perfectly. I was so nervous, but she walked me through it all, answered every question, and made me feel completely at ease. What I love most is how much she truly cares. Whether it's a quick visit or something more serious, she always takes the time to explain things and treats my animals like they're her own. You can just tell she's in this because she loves what she does. The office staff is also always friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They're great about scheduling, follow-ups, and making sure everything runs smoothly. It really makes a difference when the whole team is so warm and professional. If you're looking for a vet who's not only smart and skilled, but also kind, honest, and just an all-around amazing person--Dr. McCarthy is it. She's a true gem in the veterinary world and someone I'm so grateful to have found! read more

I cannot say enough great things about this vet! In fact, I never realized I wasn't getting the best service at previous veterinarians until I tried this one. These dogs I have now are my first, and it's taken some research, trial and error, and a bit of figuring out! Although I can't claim to have tried it all, everything about the Foothill Animal Hospital and Dr. McCarthy was like a breath of fresh air. The location is nestled in the heart of South Orange County, with major crossroads of El Toro & Portola (right across from Saddleback Church and not far from the Lake Forest Sports Park)! I actually didn't even realize how convenient and close it was until I took my doggie in. The service was top-notch and above and beyond. My puppy, Ruby, is a little bit of a problem child when she it comes to going to the vet- she's had to have many visits in the past and gets very scared and anxious. The staff here did wonders to put her nerves at ease, with treats and amazing service. Even when Ruby was on edge, they were understanding and sympathetic to all her "spunk," as I like to call it. I really appreciated how streamlined and modern the service was as well; anything from appointment reminders, patient forms, a summary of the visit, prescription information, and detailed thorough notes from the doctor on how to proceed were emailed directly to me. It wasn't all cold and digital though - I had real folks making plenty of personalized phone calls to confirm our appointments, summarize the visit, and follow up afterwards. There is a huge effort to pay lots of attention to the client before and after the appointment - this strong line of communication is nice in any industry and is the mark of a good business with great customer relations. At previous vets we've tried, there wasn't much follow-up or follow-through. This was the most noticeable difference with Dr. McCarthy at Foothill Animal Hospital. Really truly I'd like to especially highlight Dr. McCarthy's impressive attention to detail and over abundance of thoroughness. She posed questions and gave information that no one else had ever touched on in the past. She left a detailed voicemail recapping our visit as well as a comprehensive, yet concise written report. She will be personally calling me again when Ruby's lab results come in. Her love and passion for animals shows, and she embodies Foothill Animal Hospital's mantra that they will "treat our pets as if they were theirs." read more

Saved our Kitty! We live in San Diego & one morning our cat got out, hopped in the back of my husband's truck and took a ride up to Lake Forest. Cat jumped out on the 5 freeway and someone rescued her and brought her to Fotthill Animal Hospital. The hospital was quick to check for a microchip, found our phone number, and got ahold of us. Our broken hearts were quickly rejoicing in the miracle that our cat was ok and was taken care of by a caring hospital. If we lived nearby, we would become regular clients. read more

Overall, Foothill Animal Hospital is very well organized and clean. The staff, techs, and clinicians are all top notch, dedicated to providing the best possible healthcare for animals, and delivering outstanding service to their clients. More specifically, our veterinarian - Dr. McCarthy - is the most patient, compassionate, kind, and attentive vet we've ever worked with. We feel like we can ask her questions without being rushed out of the office. She takes the time to listen to any concerns we may have, while, at the same time, she is proactive about treatment without going overboard. Her attention to detail is astounding and we love how she fully explains things in layman's terms so that we "get it." I highly recommend Dr. McCarthy and this animal hospital as a whole! read more

Dr. Reagan is over the top best vet around! He has been our vet for the past fifteen years, and also given us quality care and accurate assessments! He always spends time to discuss options, remembers my specific pets and their history, shares the x-rays and results and reviews them with me on the screen to educate me and help to make the best choices. We can always expect full focus and individualized treatment. We always leave with a copy of the results for our files. The doctor always discusses options and risks, never pushes an agenda. Recently he saved my dog's life, again! I brought him there because he was tired, my friends said I was crazy, but he was sleeping more than ever. Dr. Reagan did all of the right things, including full blood test and said, "He's at 13% red blood cells, you need to get him to the hospital for a blood transfusion right now!" I was terrified, and confused, I said, you can't treat him here? He said, I can, but also gave me the risks, noting that the hospital is the only place he can get a transfussion, and that time was of the essence. At that point, I agreed. No risks, I'll go! He called the hospital to tell them we were on our way and to rush us in, which they did the minute we walked through the door! Turns out, my dog ate some pesticides and his white blood cells were killing his red blood cells. He developed IMHA from being poisoned, which is life threatening. Now I'm on an online forum with thousands of people with pets that have IMHA. There are hundreds of cases where several vets didn't run the blood or act in time, and it cost the dog their lives. If you love your animal, take him to a place like this, where they care about your animal as much as you do! read more

I brought my dog in today for diarrhea and left him there for a couple of hours so they could monitor him. Later, Dr, McCarthy called me and repeatedly expressed concern (at least five times) that my dog might be anemic or have Von Willebrand's disease. She based this on his capillary refill time being over two seconds. After emphasizing her concerns, she sent me an invoice totaling nearly $600. This included charges for fluids, anti-nausea medication, Giardia treatment, and more--despite no fecal test having been done yet to confirm any diagnosis. I called back and requested they proceed only with fluids and a fecal test because I wanted to get a second opinion from another vet. At this point, Dr. McCarthy questioned my decision, made me feel bad, and said, "Well, he's your dog." This comment was condescending and unnecessary. Frustrated, I asked to speak to the receptionist (who was kind and professional) to add a nail trim. Dr. McCarthy even questioned me on this saying.. you want to speak to the "receptionist..?" Instead, she transferred me to a vet tech named Sarah, who also started questioning my choices. She asked about my dog's history with Metronidazole, why I didn't want to use it again, and if it worked before. By this point, the constant questioning and pressure from the staff made me feel uncomfortable and annoyed. I ultimately decided not to proceed with anything other than the exam fee and left. The entire experience felt like they were trying to upsell unnecessary treatments. For comparison, I went to my original vet afterward and shared the situation. He told me my dog didn't need any of the additional treatments the first vet suggested and advised starting with a fecal test before deciding on next steps. It was refreshing to deal with someone honest who clearly wasn't trying to take advantage of the situation. One more strange thing: after I picked up my dog, the clinic called multiple times to tell me they had saved a poop sample because my dog had another bout of diarrhea before leaving. I never asked them to do this, but they called twice to notify me and a third time to tell me they were throwing it out. This entire experience was bizarre, frustrating, and felt overly focused on money. I won't be returning. read more

I really freaking love this vet! They really make me feel like they care about my dog and I learned today that they have so many more features than just veterinary care they offer, grooming, and boarding too! The doctor I saw this time was not the same doctor I saw during my last visit so I was a little bit nervous because I really liked Dr Watkins but Dr Surbida was just as amazing! The whole team is so sweet and they're honest and upfront with you and it's quick and easy and you're in and you're out with no unnecessary procedures! I would 100% recommend foothill animal Hospital to my friends and family! It's sad to say that nowadays, it's hard to find a trusted vet clinic, but I very much trust them. read more

I wrote a review earlier this month, but do not see it featured here on Yelp. Trying again... Dr. Reagan it's a terrific veterinarian, but this post is mainly to highlight those that do so much, but get little in the way of credit. The ladies of the front office at this Animal Hospital are compassionate and caring, each and every one of them. I was recently hospitalized with bacterial pneumonia and a collapsed lung. After a six day stay in the hospital, I returned home to find my Toodles with a medical condition of his own that was causing him a lot of anxiety. I telephoned and had an appointment for 15 minutes later (the drive only took only 5 minutes). When I arrived the ladies were prompt in taking Toodles from me as they could see I was weak and struggling. They took my payment and after voicing their concern as to my welfare helped me to the car with Toodles. Kindness is free, but today finding it is rare. I appreciate this Hospital and Dr. Reagan and their care of my fur-baby, and I appreciate these ladies who go out of their way to take care not only of Toodles but me as well! Thank you ladies! Signed: Toodles and Shari read more

Dr. Reagan and Dr. McCarthy have been wonderful in taking care of our senior dog over the last few years. The entire staff also provides a warm and caring environment.

My wife and my deepest gratitude go out to this exceptional veterinary team. read more

I have been extremely happy with my experiences at Foothill Animal Hospital. The facility is very clean and organized and all of the staff are very professional and friendly. Most importantly Dr. McCarthy, our veterinarian, is truly one-of kind. She is incredibly smart as well as kind and compassionate. She will do anything, day or night, to help our furry friends. She's not afraid to think outside the box or consult specialists when needed. She has an amazing bedside manner and explains things to her pet parents in a way that is easy to understand. She also gives treatment options and clearly explains the pros and cons of each. She truly loves all animals and her job caring for them and it clearly shows in every interaction that you have with her! I highly recommend Foothill Animal Hospital and Dr. McCarthy as a veterinarian. read more

Just want to add another gratitude post to the team here. With changes with my dog and her health the staff has been more than helpful. I've called in several times asking for additional questions with the staff or doctor. Most in regards to her prescriptions and dog food change to make sure we are on the right track/changes. The staff is always friendly on the phone and in person. Welcoming and not feeling like your here for possible difficulties. It's very difficult to find a facility with both staff and doctors that treat you and your pets with the most up respect. So with that don't second guess yourself about coming to Foothill and letting the team help you and your pet. Make an appointment now, you won't regret it. read more

we love foothill animal hospital. We take both goldendoodles and our two cats here for years now. we never feel rushed by the dr or any of the vet techs with any questions that we ever have. they do perfect wellness checkups and also were very helpful when our new puppy got kennel cough. Their prices are very reasonable and I never feel like I'm being "sold" on additional services. They gave us samples of 30 day flea medicines for both of our puppies before we committed to buying them. The front desk lady gave my daughter a pack of stickers also which was such a nice treat for her when we were getting ready to leave. Our family will continue to always take all of our animals here as they care of them like they are their own. You can tell they are all gentle & respectful with animals. We will keep coming here as long as we can! Thank you! read more

This review is long overdue so for that I'm sorry! I would just like to say I am so so happy with the care of everyone here. From making the appointment to the end of our visit it was nothing but a great experience! Dr. Hilke was so thorough with the exam! I have a 14 year old Jack Russell/ Chihuahua mix and she is pretty skittish and doesn't warm up to people easily. By the end of the examination she felt comfortable which is HUGE! But back to Dr. Hilke!! He was so so nice and when I say he was very thorough I mean it. I've never gone to a doctor JUST IN GENERAL that has given me actual answers and positive reassurance. He was so knowledgeable and answered all of my questions with great confidence! I would most definitely recommended this Animal Hospital and Dr.Hilke to anyone hesitant on finding the right Veterinarian! Also shout out to Alexis for being so nice and helpful, you were a great technician!! Thank you everyone for an overall excellent experience! (Also look how cute the white board was, that really put a smile on my face when I walked in and saw that) read more

I took my cat here twice, three years apart. The first time, she was vomiting non stop, very dehydrating. The doctor was super nice, she took her time to explain things to me. She stabilized my kitty, and sent us home. They even called to check on her the next day, and had suggestions of how to help me at home. The second time I took her, was after I had visited another vet who had HORRIBLE bedside manner, refused to speak to me, and charged hundreds more than this vet ultimately did. She had a cough and had developed fluid surrounding her lungs. The doctor was so kind, he explained everything, and unfortunately I was facing a horrible choice. He offered to do a procedure to give me more time with my baby, but ultimately she would have to be put down. He charged hundreds less than the other vet was going to. Unfortunately my kitty did not tolerate the procedure well and passed in my arms later that night. I do not feel AT ALL that this was the doctors fault, she was just too weak at that point. I wish I had had more courage to just put her down instead of trying to buy more time. I brought my kitty back to be cremated, and once again i was met with kindness and compassion. When she was ready they called me to come get her. They gave me a beautiful cedar box and even her paw print. The results of her specimen were back, and the vet even came outside to go over them. They were inconclusive, but they had expected them to be. She went over the possibilities of what could have caused the fluid to surround her lungs. No matter what, there was nothing they could do. They tried to drain the fluid to give me more time, but all 3 vets, including the horrible one at another clinic, and the two from Foothill, told me that it would keep coming back, and I could either drain it without any anesthesia every time it came back, or let her go. I wish I had just let her go. But the vets here gave me educated choices, and me and my kitty were treated with compassion and dignity. I would definitely bring her sister or any other pet I have for treatment. read more

Everything about Foothill Animal Hospital is top notch. Immediately, as you walk in, you are greeted by a superb staff, who all are incredibly friendly and helpful. They are super good at calling to remind about appointments and after visit calls, to check up on how my pup is doing. The vet techs are caring and friendly, as well. Dr. Reagan is the best vet I have ever had. I cannot say enough about him. He is extremely knowledgeable, handles my pup with gentle care, and explains everything in terms that I can understand. Honestly, I cannot write enough about this place. I moved out of the area and I continue to go to this vet. My buddy is my everything and he only deserves the best. That is why we go here. read more

Great vet clinic, Dr. Reagan is an excellent vet - you can tell he loves animals. We adopted two labs four years ago and had them spayed by Dr. Reagan at Foothill Animal Hospital.

Well a couple of weeks ago I thought I'd give foothill another chance and had them microchip and vaccinate a rescue I was fostering. The foster has since been adopted and now I have a second foster. I asked if they would work with the rescue (which is not mine but just one for which I'm fostering) to discount the exam and shots so I don't have to go to Yorba Linda. A woman came on the phone and rudely told me that due to the incident a couple of years ago in which they misdiagnosed my dog with a heart condition and charged over $1000 for unneeded and misread tests, they will not work with my foster. So much for second chances and so much for service. I do realize that this day and age, good service, especially in so cal is a thing of the past. Sad. Luckily there are vets all over the place. read more

Pup almost broke hip falling through slats in lobby bench. Manager said they couldn't come up with another solution so they just posted a sign to fix the problem. Cushions now on benches but I was told by the manager they don't do that for health reasons. Which is it?? Replace the benches if they are a hazard to animals! Assistant talking outside exam room to Dr. B about how she finally made it into work. I had been waiting staffer late. Also heard assistant tell vet that I was the one who complained as my dog screamed in pain when staffer pulled on his leash to weigh him and his hind leg almost broke off getting stuck in bench slats. This was at the previous appointment. Dr. B. assisting when Dr. R.was out, was late to work, looked like she just rolled out of bed and had a glazed look on her face. Had to repeat myself many times. Given a cheap cone for the dog ,which is substandard,doesn't work, no info or answer about allergies causing foot trouble- had to call back the vet and ask. Scolded by Gina when I called and asked about how to give my pup a capsule. Gina said I should have told the vet I didn't know how to give meds and that the dog was a shelter rescue and has sensitive stomach. Duh!!! I told the vet three times during the office visit. Vet assistant didn't ask me either if I knew how to give a capsule. When I asked Gina if I should just force it down pups throat she said yes! We rescued a dog to give it a better life. To give it a second chance . He is family now. We want the best care for him. Dr. R. Is great but the manager and other staff need to be trained better or replaced. read more

We have been taking out poodle to this clinic for over 8 months. Today, we took him for a regular grooming.

I really hesitated before writing this review. Vets are under so much stress at the moment and we should do more to respect them. However there's a serious lack of judgment and skill from the vet that I saw at this office. I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else. My 18 month old dog went in for facial swelling. We suspected an abcessed tooth. We met with the vet, she was very kind and my dog really liked her. I trusted her even though it was our first time here. She agreed we were likely looking at a tooth abscess from a previously broken tooth. We did pre anesthetic bloodwork and scheduled a dental and X-rays. Fast forward to the day of the dental. My boy went in and I waited for the call. The vet tells me that my young boy has 10 teeth that need to come out. He has severe bone loss in his jaw. He will likely have no teeth by the time he's four. Again, he's an 18 month old puppy. He must have some horrible genetic condition. Also there's an abcessed tooth just where we thought it was. I ask them to double check the x-rays. Are they looking at the right dog? I'm in shock at this point. She says all the right things: She would never pull teeth unnecessarily. She doesn't enjoy pulling teeth. Yes, she would do this if it were her own dog. I ask for a lot of assurance and she provides it. I need to makes decision now because my dog is under anesthesia during this call so it's urgent. I'm distraught. I say yes because I don't know what else to do. She was very convincing. Maybe she truly believed this was the best course of action. I get off the phone, call my breeder, who says "oh my God no, call her and tell her to stop immediately!!" I called back in tears. I told them to stop pulling immediately. She's already got four of his teeth out in that short time, saying they were "loose". She didn't even pull the abcessed tooth first. She stops the procedure. I go pick him up when he's ready. I immediately scheduled with a board certified veterinary dental specialist who is respected in his field and who spends a lot of his time teaching general practice vets about dental issues. So we go to that appointment and he says "I'm really glad you're here, because that vet was very wrong in her reading of these X-rays". He found a totally normal level of bone density. He found only one tooth should come out (the abcessed one) and he even found the reason for the abcess. He found zero other problems and no bone loss and no problems - all normal variation that you see in healthy teeth all the time. He found this in her x-rays and then confirmed in his own x-rays a second time when we went to pull the abcessed tooth. He did also say that not being in the room at the time, he could not assess whether the teeth she already pulled were "loose" or not. So I guess I can't make a judgement on that, but I'm sorry if I don't trust any of it given the extremely wrong dental treatment plan she was suggesting. So is this Foothill vet just incompetent or was she trying to make money off of us? Not sure it matters either way. We will never go back. By the way, they were also really sketchy when I tried to get the x-rays. First they told me they would send directly to the specialist. Then they gave me a CD but it was blank. Then finally I brought over my own USB and got the images. It's a good thing I did because when I showed up at the specialist, I was told they they had called for records but Foothill had refused to share them, even though I requested it. Incompetence or hiding something? Does it matter? Seriously considering reporting this vet for malpractice. I hope she does some continuing education on dental surgery. read more

I have been extremely happy taking my dogs to Foothill Animal Hospital for about the last 10 years and I will continue to take them there, unless it was for an emergency and FAH was not open. I will admit they are pricey, but well worth the money. Dr. Reagan and Dr. Link are the best, and I trust all staff there with both my pups. As far as the staff at FAH, I can't say enough great things! The front office staff is the best! Always friendly, courteous and ready to help get answers to any questions you may have. The Veterinary Tech's who do all of the hands on work with my dogs are the greatest and I don't think you could find better in South OC. My dogs never hesitate to go in and get treatment, grooming (Sean is great), or Boarding. When I pick them up, they always come out healthy, happy and in great condition. read more

This place is bitter sweet for me because almost 3 weeks ago I had to put down my 16 year old cat I was sooo HEARTBROKEN having to put my baby down due to health issues. Maria and Tammy were so sweet to me and reassured me that I was making the right decision, and was so caring as I cried my eyes out over the phone and in person. Dr. Reagan was also very caring and answered all my questions that I had, and always called me back when I had more questions to ask. My baby lived a great 16 years and is now chasing mice in kitty heaven. When I decide to adopt another kitty, I will definitely bring he/she here to be taken care of. RIP Diego read more

We have taken our dogs there for years now and they have always helped us. However, today we had to take our dog in because she was stung by a bee and had a deathly allergic reaction. Well apparently Foothill Animal Hospital likes to take advantage of pet owners who are trying to save their animals life by charging us a $130 emergency fee. This did not go towards any treatment and was simply the fee inconveniencing them by asking them to save my dog's life. I have been to many vets and NEVER have I paid an emergency fee. I have friends who are vet techs and have never heard of such a thing. I would not recommend Foothill Animal Hospital unless you want to be taken advantage of during a life and death situation! read more

I appreciate that they don't push product or services on you rather they evaluate each of your pets and make recommendations but leave the services to decide on to the owner. I thank you so much for your sincere role in the lives of our pets as their Veterinarians! :) read more
